Of course, it is not always possible to avoid over-committing as sometimes the business calls for it.

Well that sounds like lazy acceptance of a bad situation for your team.

No mention of fighting for better terms for the team. If the business calls for over-committing you team, you or someone else in management have failed. Such a commitment may be indeed be unavoidable in that situation, but your job as a manager is to fight for your team to be additionally compensated for such an over-commitment.

I'm sure a lot of it comes down to different experiences and generally different points of view, but I've found myself disagreeing with pretty much every article from this site I've seen so far.

If you have made the transition from developer to manager, then please let me know your experiences in the comments below.

I thought about this, but changed my pronouns and started HRT instead and I've been much happier.

Never, I will never stop coding. My manager has been trying to pull me into admin, but I put my foot down at team lead. I leave the staff management to my manager. That's as far as I go up the ladder lol, fuck off with your management bullshit

This is article has some solid advice from a manager with 3 years in the trenches. It's always good to have more voices sharing the their experience for others facing similar decisions.
